What’s a Good Pipe to Let Hang?

[OSOBUCO]

Hi all. I want to find a lightweight pipe with filter that I can comfortably just let rest in my mouth without clenching. Something that hangs effortlessly. Thank you friends.

I prefer something bent to some degree which, more than a light weight "straight" causes the bit to push gently upwards against the upper teeth. It's what works best for my jaw's design. I also rest the pipe against the molars with the jaw at rest.

A full bent oom Paul shape is what you're looking for. Savinelli makes some really nice ones.

Ask 10 pipe smokers and you'll get 14 different answers. Bottom line is, whatever works for you. There are some smokers that can clench an 8 ounce pipe all day and some that can't bear with a 3 ounce for more than a few minutes.

That should work, depending on the alignment of your teeth and jaw shape.

This is a good point. Some stems are too wide for my teeth. And I've had one that was too thin and bulbous.

Thanks. Bent definitely seems best from a physics perspective.

Go toothless and any of them work.
